The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I have put around 30 hours into Skyrim without having encountered this issue before. I have also used mods almost from the beginning without this problem before. But all of a sudden, when I boot the game up its like looking at an epileptic night club - its a flickering flashing image that is almost painful to watch. Worst with the initial logos of bethesda and dragon that gets better once the choice of 'new', 'load' etc. comes up but starts again when you choose to load/play new.

No idea what's causing it. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling game and mods but to no avail.

I have just had a look at doing that now... I did update it fairly recently - and since the last time I played the game. How might I go about uninstalling latest drivers though? Doesn't appear to be anything in control panel.

@dakneo - not as far as I can see.@Echo1069 - How would I do that? (Apologies it is a fairly new laptop and I've never had to change graphics settings before as I've never had dedicated before). @Kiwi - I'll try it though judging by the images he includes for the mod it does not look like the problem I am having.

Yeah - I'm not great with computers and I only recently realised that the Intel HD 4000 card is the base card for my laptop and my dedicated is apparently an AMD Radeon HD 8750 with 2GB of dedicated graphics memory.

Only know this now because someone said that the HD 4000 isn't a dedicated so it didn't make sense that it had a 2GB dedicated memory. Can't find anywhere on my laptop itself that mentions the 8750 but it says it in my purchase order email so assume that is what is giving me the dedicated memory though have no idea how to access it from my laptop - can only seem to find evidence of the HD 4000.... weird but as I said I'm not great with computers...

Never mind, try setting skyrim's compatibility mode to windows 8. (program files->steam->steamapps->common->skyrim. right click the launcher you are using (might be SKSE) select properties, compatibility and set it to win8. credits for this answer go to ti.mmm.

I'm on win7 running two cards in crossfire and get flickering when I bring up the ESC menu during the game. Otherwise it's fine. Not sure if SLI or Crossfire was supported by this game. It's not a big deal for me so I never bothered to try and "fix" it.
